[micropenis (imported)]

Gentiles!

This thread is about, gentiles. (Moi)

Not Mormons.

Not Jews.

Gentiles, please.

So c'mon gentiles, how do you manage, just by numbers?

And chosen members, what are your perceptions? :shakemitk , I know but I had to ask to be fair.

Given the economy it is apparent that we gentiles don't manage very well.

I would welcome a jewish take-over of the banking and finacial system. It would be nice to have someone in charge who knows what they are doing for once.

I saw a bumber sticker yesterday that said " I'll keep my religeon, guns and freedom. You keep the change".

But Gentile is a completely amorphous term, taken over by Joseph Smith and company, it is applied to Jews among the Mormons, so it turns out that everyone is a Gentile in someone's view.

Show me where the Mormons refer to the Jews as Gentiles.

They refer to all non-mormoons as Gentiles, which would include Jews who haven't converted to Smithism

All members of the Eunuch Archive here are of the one true religion, and any others who are not members of this place online are all gentiles!

But then again maybe I got it backwards. Maybe we're the gentiles while all the others are the enlightened ones.

We talk about these "tiles" too much. Gentiles, reptiles, percentiles, textiles. The tiles are taking over. We should all wear white sheets and burn a cross on their lawn.

We can be either jews or gentiles.

They are genitals.

You know we don't always agree but sometimes,

You know Doctors say that laughter is the best thing for you and your heart,

Thank you, best laugh I have had all day, Thank you,

Show me where the Mormons refer to the Jews as Gentiles.

The term Gentile (from Latin gentilis, meaning of or belonging to a clan or tribe) refers to non-Israelite tribes or nations in English translations of the Bible, most notably the King James Version. It serves as the Latin and subsequently English translation of the Hebrew words גוי (goy) and נכרי (nokhri) in the Old Testament and the Greek word ἔθνη (éthnē) in the New Testament.

Today, the primary meaning of gentile is "non-Jew".Latter-day Saints Church usage Main article: Mormonism and Judaism In the terminology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS Church"; see also Mormon) the word Gentile takes on different meanings in different contexts which may confuse some and alienate others. Members of the LDS church regard themselves as regathered Israelites, and so sometimes use the word Gentile to refer to all non-members. According to John L. Needham of Utah State University, "Mormons in the American West applied gentile, as an adjective as much as a slur, to nearly everyone and everything that did not adhere to their faith or desert kingdom." Because they had suffered persecution, the word gentile was "a call to circle the wagons socially and politically around the fold".[6] In such usage Jews may be colloquially referred to as "Gentiles" because they are not members of the LDS Church. However, the traditional meaning is also to be found in the introduction to the Book of Mormon, in the statement that it is written to both "Jew" (literal descendants of the House of Israel) and "Gentile" (those not descended from the House of Israel or those of the tribe of Ephraim scattered among the "Gentiles" throughout the earth). Needham writes that Mormons have "outgrown the term".[6] In order to avoid confrontation and pejorative connotations, Latter-day Saints in the 21st century avoid using the word Gentile in everyday matters, preferring "non-member". Gentile is usually reserved for discussions of scriptural passages.

As a fallen saint I can tell you that this is true.

Note the word association,

from Gentiles to reptiles.

Hhhhmmmm!

Tell us more of how you view, gentiles, Bob3. Don't hold back and require us to read into word associations. C'mon, take off the PC cloak. You have had to tolorate them. How do you do it? Charity?
